All of this is on Chloe’s list except the Maxi Cosi bouncer seat that we have already and LOVE. It’s such a beautiful seat to have out at all times and is really easy to move around the house with you.

Now that things are getting back to normal (or should I say falling into a “new normal”?), I am back to meal planning and prepping for our weeks with intentionality. That means well thought out meal plans and grocery lists! Football foods and chilly weather faves are on the brain as our first cold fronts blow through here in Texas. And while our days may start in the 50’s we peak mid-80s in the afternoon… but, none the less… it’s fall y’all. 😉
Here’s a meal plan you can steal for next week that we did this week!
Valentine’s Day is second only to Christmas for me. I love it so much! I love the colors, the meaning, the fun you get to have telling people you love them in a special, out of the ordinary way. Our wedding anniversary is the 15th, so we always have a big hoopla couple of days celebrating love in our home. Music is key to the vibe on our favorite day! I have our absolute top favorite bops all on a playlist for you to have for your own special night with your special someone. We play this in the car on the way to our date and while getting ready, and we will play it while we do a special Valentine dinner with our babies. Songs from our wedding video (Forever Like That), engagement video (Paris in June), the song I walked down the aisle to (So Are You To Me), and all our favorite jazzy songs are included below!
You are so loved, friend. Remember we love because He first loved us. What a gift that we get to know the love of friends and family and a special somebody in our lives all because Jesus made a way for us first through the compassion of our loving God.

Yay! It’s that time of year… FAMILY PHOTOS. It’s likely you’re planning your photo shoots for Christmas cards and more right now, and the topic of “what do I wear?” is of course top of mind. Because I am the lady in a house of boys, I circle their outfits around my dress of choice. I milk the “queen” thing for a few things, and this is one of them! 😉 We’ve done formal, extra Christmassy, super casual… and this year I am going for “Sunday’s best” attire. It’s not formal, it’s not fully casual – it’s right in between. I am going to guess for a lot of you this is where you land for your own family photos.
I rounded up a variety of dresses perfect for family photos. Pair with a great boot or bootie, and these will be images you print for your walls year round.
Happy September, from The Cake Team!

Every week that goes by, it gets a little harder to believe we are still in quarantine. I truly didn’t think we’d still be here going into September, and it’s an almost daily battle to choose joy as we head into the sixth month of navigating this pandemic. That being said, we have to keep fighting and finding ways to enjoy life! I find joy in all things fall. I mean, seriously… does it get better than a crisp morning, a pumpkin candle burning, a hot cup of something in hand, and a sweatshirt (especially if it’s from The Cake Shop). I think not! So I am choosing joy and getting ready for fall in my house, my wardrobe, and my soul 🙂 I’m sharing and linking all of my favorite things to get cozy and ready for that cool fall weather, even if it is still 95 degrees outside right now… Texas probs, y’all.

Fall Home Decor
The new fall line from Hearth & Hand with Magnolia is at Target, and it’s amazing as always! I love adding some warmer pieces to my home to help transition into fall, like throw pillows, wreaths, candles, etc.
Pumpkin Bread
I’m getting ready to bust out my favorite pumpkin bread recipe! A slice of pumpkin bread and a cup of hot cider (or coffee for all you normal people who love it hehe) with a candle burning, a cozy sweatshirt, and a good book = the perfect fall morning. You can check out my pumpkin bread recipe that I shared last fall on the blog here!
Cozy Fall Wardrobe
Even before the temperatures drop, I bust out all my sweaters, sweatshirts, joggers, etc. so I can feel cozy! Especially with being home so much more right now, I’m living in my comfies pretty much 24/7. Here’s a roundup of some of my favorite new cozy pieces for fall!
Fall at Bath and Body Works
Fall is here and I am R E A D Y. I stocked up on new soaps, candles, and all the things with the new fall scents and it brings me joy every time I smell them. Some of my favorite new scents are:
